tc@linux:/etc$ cat /etc/hosts.allow # hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are allowed access by the '/usr/local/bin/tcpd' server. tc@linux:/etc$

tc@linux:/etc$ cat /etc/hosts.deny # hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are denied access by the '/usr/local/bin/tcpd' server. tc@linux:/etc$ Unfortunately, `/usr/local/bin/tcpd` was not there.
